Chapter 99: The Dragon Returns to the Sea?

The huge horseshoes made depressions on the mud, and a group of brown horses rushed out from the mountain road at one end of the dense forest.

The sergeants on horseback were covered with inner armor and a tattered apricot-yellow robe outside. The image of these soldiers was somewhat embarrassing.

A king's flag with a big "Chen" was hung high, still fluttering in the wind, and at a glance, it was the Luzhou battlefield, the retreating defeated soldiers.

but.

Even though they were defeated, this army still had strict laws and regulations. On the march, there was not even a single noise except trampling horseshoes and tired breathing.

No one to talk to.

Chen Yucheng straddled a white steed, wearing a yellow robe, with a yellow and white face, with sharp brows and sharp eyes, still arrogant, with a high head, and sharp and cold eyes flashing, without the slightest sign of the end of the hero, he is still a heavenly king aloft.

There were two thin knives hanging from his waist, one on the left and the other on the right, and the gaps in the scabbards were full of minced meat and blood.

The sword is a pair of swords, also known as Bibo.

This Bibo knife has a curved blade and a strange shape. Although the blade is thin, there is still a blood groove on one side.

The blade is emerald green, the clear billows are like flowing water, and the edge is as bright as a shooting star. It corresponds to an ancient poem: "The spring ice has disappeared to the blue lake, and the shadows and glowing clouds seem to be gone." The most extravagant point is that the handle of the knife is a transparent piece of jasper. It is cool and comfortable to hold in your hand.

This pair of treasured swords was scraped from local merchants when the Taiping Army broke through Yangzhou Mansion, and after several reversals, it finally fell into Chen Yucheng's hands.

In addition to the double knives, Chen Yucheng also had a dark box hanging on his body.

The box is also called Jiaoxi box, the golden needles in the box are like dragon's whiskers, they are different in length, they are extremely agile, often a flash of golden light can kill a person, this golden needle is naturally poisoned, quenching poison is called seeing blood seal the throat, the person who hits it will die immediately.

As for the last thing I want to mention, it is a volume of scriptures in the arms of King Ying Chen Yucheng.

The full name of this scripture is "Lingwen Guilu Dog-shaped Talisman Collection". Chen Yucheng's professional skills are quite complicated.

Usually pretending to look at the appearance, his martial arts cultivation is between the four majors and Dan Jin.But once Lao Chen's secret method is activated, the personal force can jump to the level of the force, touch the outer force, and can create a cyclone, but the power is not strong enough.

The specific strength is under Zhu Fengkui in the outbreak period.

However, this is only in terms of martial arts. Chen Yucheng is famous all over the world, and he also has a special set of dharma inheritance.

The method of refining soldiers.

The full name is "Lingwen Guilu Dog-shaped Talisman Collection". This set of scriptures is a very small branch of the Lushan Dharma lineage, which is the inheritance of Minyue witchcraft in the Jiangnan witchcraft system.

It is Xu Zhenjun who is enshrined, and the origin of the lineage inheritance is complicated and not mentioned much.

However, it should be emphasized that there are a total of 33 sets of Lingwen Guilu, and the big tengu demon, that is, the dog-shaped Fubuzang, is only one of them.

The Lushan faction's spells have always been known for their domineering, either you die or I die!

When it comes to the toughness of spells, it is even worse than that of Maoshan.

At the beginning, Chen Yucheng also opened an altar to offer sacrifices in order to obtain this dog-shaped collection. He made offerings to many primitive ghosts and gods, and honored the law of "Three Realms and Five Battalions of Soldiers and Horses".

In the end, the ceremony of "receiving troops" was held, and it was considered to be a complete enlightenment for the collection, to raise a big tengu demon for himself, and apricot-yellow iron cavalry under his command who are not afraid of death and have lost their five senses.

This set of inheritance is the lifeline for him to be able to travel north and south. He was defeated like a mountain, and he left the tent, so he naturally had to carry it along.

The whole team has a conical structure.

Chen Yucheng took the lead, at the front, with apricot-yellow cavalry on both wings, and at the end of the team hung the shadow of a very black, big dog.

As for the pursuers of Tingzi Battalion, they were left far behind.

Chen Yucheng looked around, looked at the two mountain peaks in the distance, and couldn't help frowning. One of the peaks was shaped like a bull's horn, and the other was like an upside-down pot.

"This is Yangchang County?"

Chen Yucheng knew it well, and after thinking for a while, he immediately chanted loudly: "Don't let the world say that the road is difficult, the bird's path is close to the sheep's intestines, Mo Dao's earthen jar opens, the dragon returns to the sea, and I return to the mountain."

This was originally a poem from the Yuan Fa Conference of the Five Lantern Festival. Chen Yucheng made up a random poem and used it here to boost morale.

The generals around reined in their horses and looked at each other.

"Today, although we suffered a defeat, as long as I, Chen Yucheng, are around, we will be able to make a comeback and take back the Luzhou Mansion in a short time. With the shame of today's blood, all the troops..."

He was halfway through his sentence.

Whoosh!

In the forest on the side, flocks of birds flew in fright, and the loud and sharp whistle interrupted Chen Yucheng's motivational speech.

The trees in the dense forest moved without wind, and big bay red horses poked their heads out of the shadows.

"Long time no see, President Chen."

Yi Wang Shi Dakai appeared, with his hands folded in front of his chest, standing on a very high and huge stone.

"Brother Tian, ​​did you come so fast?"

Chen Yucheng on the white horse said in surprise.

He knew that it was Yi Wang Shi Da who came to rescue him in a meeting. After all, the two exchanged many letters, but he did not expect that Shi Dakai was so fast.

In Chen Yucheng's expectations, being able to meet Shi Da in Shucheng was considered the best result, but he did not expect the reality to be even more so.

"Thank you, Brother Tian, ​​but don't call me the president anymore."

Chen Yucheng responded with a wry smile.

When he was still in Tianjing, Chen Yucheng was conferred the title of Wenheng Youzheng President by the Great Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, and managed the literati and courtiers for a short period of time. During this period, Chen Yucheng always called himself "the president". At that time, the kings laughed at him and called him President Chen.

Yi Wang Shi Dakai called his name like this, one is to show that he has not forgotten the past and maintains a certain degree of intimacy.

The second is to relieve the pressure of Chen Yucheng's defeat, which also has the meaning of a warning - if you lose Wang Jue, it's a big deal, go back to Tianjing and become a literati president.

Shi Dakai was afraid that Chen Yucheng and Miao Peilin's pig and dog stuff would mess up together.

The news of Miao Peilin's surrender to the Qing Dynasty has not yet spread, and it belongs to the high-level secrets of the Han military group, the Hunan Army and the Linhuai Army.

Of course Shi Dakai didn't know, it's just that he has his own way of seeing people, coupled with Miao Peilin's character of jumping around repeatedly, Shi Dakai hates this kind of people the most.

However, Shi Dakai didn't know that Chen Yucheng had already made the decision to go to Shouchuan to meet Miao Peilin.

Of course, it's not now, but when he regains his strength, he will use Miao's power to recapture Luzhou Mansion.

"Although you have lost some soldiers this time, there is no major hindrance. You will be able to regain Luzhou sooner or later. After Brother Chen, what are your plans? I can only send you and Xinghuang cavalry out of Shucheng, and you have to walk the rest of the road by yourself."

Shi Dakai said lightly.

He really wanted to help Chen Yucheng, otherwise, it would have been impossible to come all the way to rescue him, but Shi Dakai's forces were all in Jiangxi Prefecture, and some areas in southern Fujian were assembled, and Shi Dakai himself still had a mess that he hadn't had time to clean up.

The several battalions were thousands of miles apart, even if they wanted to lend troops to Chen Yucheng, they couldn't afford it.

"Thank you, Brother Tian. Since I used soldiers, I have always won battles and captured attacks. Although I was defeated by Bao Chao this time, what I hate most is Yangchang, a traitor. If it weren't for him, the outcome of me and Ting Ziying is still unknown!"

Chen Yucheng couldn't help saying this.

Shi Dakai shook his head slightly when he heard this, but at this time, it was inconvenient to say anything else... He always looked down on this kind of behavior of shifting defeat to other results.

If the war is lost, then the general is incompetent.

It's just that such words must never be said. Once said, the little brotherhood will be completely cut off.

Shi Dakai was silent.

Chen Yucheng thought for a while and then said: "My brother plans to go to Tianjing to meet the king of heaven, and after that, to regroup, so why worry about clearing up the demon..." He didn't say a word.

Chen Yucheng knew Shi Dakai's preferences, so he didn't mention Miao Peilin at all.

"good!"

Shi Dakai gently stroked the tiger whiskers on his chin.

"Good ass?"

An abrupt voice came from the end of the forest.

Chen Yucheng's pupils suddenly shrank.

Shi Dakai has always known someone, he thought it was a spy from the Qing court, and was planning to catch him after chatting a few words, but he didn't expect this person to expose himself?

Could it be that he is not from the Qing court?

Just when Shi Dakai was puzzled.

"Hmph, is that you?"

Chen Yucheng couldn't help snorting.

Among the densely shadowed layers of leaves, a slender, almost starved figure rushed out, Zhang Wenxiang kicked his feet, and behind him were flying leaves floating all over the sky.

Chen Yucheng did not expect to see one of the three brothers who betrayed him here.

"You can't get out."

Zhang Wenxiang said carelessly, with the unscrupulous aura of Lin Dong in the past, clearly stepping on the edge of life and death, with the cliff on the left and the magma on the right.

But he is not afraid of life and death.

Dare to face Yi Wang, who can kill him with a single punch, and swear.

Shi Dakai raised his eyebrows, and was about to take down this pretender.

At this time, I heard Zhang Wenxiang say again: "The Yangchang mountain road between the two peaks is full of organs. The high rocks on both sides of the road have many soldiers carrying explosive packs. The other one, bypassing the waterway of the county town, is on the other side of the Qingshui River. Cannons in red are set up."

"It is rumored that the apricot cavalry of the King of England are all brave, horses are unparalleled in battle, and they are not afraid of death. But if they are not afraid of death, can it change the fact that cavalry cannot fight in water?"

Zhang Wenxiang asked with a sneer.

Shi Dakai and Chen Yucheng looked at each other suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing else, I just want to help the Taiping Army to achieve success, and let go of the anger in your chest. Do you dare to believe me? King of England."

Zhang Wenxiang's body turned against the aura of Tiangang, and he was about to burst out. It seemed that there were two pieces of black ice in his cheeks.

"Why don't you dare?"

Chen Yucheng's voice sank.

Shi Da folded his hands into his sleeves and looked at the thin young man curiously.

Those eyes with astonishing insight kept cruising on Zhang Wenxiang's body, as if wanting to explore his secrets.

"Okay, I will open the city gate for you and let you out. You have to promise me three conditions, but you still can't?"

"Can!"

Chen Yucheng nodded without any hesitation.
